Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Support Group
Deep-vein thrombosis, also known as deep-venous thrombosis or DVT, is the formation of a blood clot ("thrombus") in a deep vein. It can be caused by something preventing blood from circulating or clotting normally. Join the support group if you are coping with DVT and find others who are going through the same challenges.
Thirteen days after stopping a 21 year long 81mg aspirin therapy I felt a DVT begin in my leg. Has anyone else stopped aspirin and created a clot within a suspicious time frame?

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

Has anyone tried these supplements? Do they give MGers more quality of life by improving memory and overall well being?Thanks!Barbel
I've researched and talked about aspirin therapy with several doctors, incl my hemotologist, and here's what I know: aspirin therapy is good for preventing arterial clots (i.e. heart attacks), not so much venous clots (i.e. DVTs, phlavitis). True, it doesn't hurt, but it's yet been proven to prevent venous episodes either.
I've been off coumadin for a month or so and have yet to start aspirin. I have "phantom pains" of where my clots were, but my doppler shows them to be almost gone.
